The JJ is a go to grill for small meals. 1 of 4 kids home (w/ boyfriend) and wife out of town. Flank Steak w/ twice baked potatoes corn on the cob and beans. My daughter loves to cook. I do the grilling.
I just recently bought a new Jumbo Joe on a Target Special Closeout. It is the new design with vents in the bottom. It will get smokin' hot (pun intended) in just a couple of minutes. I can see me using it LOTS for small cooks at home as well as picnics. This is really an EXCELLENT grill in it's own right.
Nice flank steak. I really like my JJ too but I have a newer one with the vents on the bottom. Just did a 11 hour cook on a 7 lb pork butt. Turned out great.
